4 tbsp rice bran oil
1 red bell pepper, cut in 5 cm strips

History: Fajita is a Tex-Mex, Texan-Mexican American or Tejano, diminutive term for little strips of meat cut from the beef skirt, the most common cut used to make fajitas. The word fajita is not known to have appeared in print until 1971, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. (The word faja is Spanish for "strip", or "belt", from the latin fascia, "band")
Venison derives from the Latin venari (to hunt or pursue). This term entered English through the Norman in the 11th century, following the Norman invasion of England, and the establishment of Royal Forests. Venison originally described meat of any game animal killed by hunting and was applied to any animal from the families 'Cervidae' (deer), 'Leporidae' (hares) and 'Suidae' (wild pigs) and certain species of the genus Capra (goats and ibex), but in the northern hemisphere the word's usage is now almost entirely restricted to the flesh of various species of deer.
